Former chief of LSE to investigate the future of trading

Dame Clara Furse is to head a team of experts investigating the role of the technology in the near future, and how its development will affect financial stability, regulation, integrity of financial markets, competition and the future role and location of capital markets.

The former chief executive of the London Stock Exchange, will chair the Lead Expert Group for the Government Office for Science’s latest Foresight project, ‘The Future of Computer Trading in Financial Markets’.

At the LSE, she was responsible for a £40 million upgrade to the LSE's troubled TradElect system, which is currently being stripped out and replaced by a Linux-based system with a higher algorithmic trading capacity, only three years on.

Other members of the Lead Expert Group include Andy Haldane, executive director of financial stability at the Bank of England, Professor Charles Goodhart from the London School of Economics and Professor Philip Bond from the University of Oxford and Bristol.
